I don't... a rough idea what the VP's duties are, but not the day-to-day routine. I would imagine it amounts to following an itinerary handed to him/her by the staff, and knowing how to act appropriately in each of those situations as they arise.  |
The duties will vary depending on the President. With the absurd growth in the power of the executive branch the VP's role has been increasing. Mondale apparently had a large role in the Carter administration, while W has had a significant role in the Cheney adm.
I expect that the next VP will have a role in whatever area of expertise they have. Biden will likely be the foreign policy guy and a channel to Congress. Pallin will have to define herself.
